Thus far, we have only heard of USA and Russia talking, and agreeing to even attempt a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, we have not heard from Ukraine, and meanwhile , energy infrastructure keeps getting hit.
Understand?
No, Ukraine agreed to an unconditional ceasefire.
Russia didn't.
Understand?

That is one sided!
I shudder....
And here we are , rehashing, and all pertinent points will be forgotten about, as usual.
Good job! wow.
It looks to me that Ukraine's aim is to target infrastructure and of course there will be casualties of these types of attacks, whereas Russia is specifically targeting civilians in their homes, there is a big difference.

Not Russia.
Even as a condition to a Black Sea ceasefire (and where is what's left of their Black Sea fleet right now?) Putin wants banking sanctions etc lifted.
He's playing Trump like a fiddle whilst laughing at him!

It appears to me that Putin and Trump may be looking at these negotiations as a game because let's face it, these elitist power hungry leaders don't have friends or family in the cross-hairs. On the other hand, Zelensky cares about his people and the sovereignty of their land, so he is coming from a different position, a different place.
It may well be that Zelensky will be the one to give up the most for peace.

Putin seems to want all that he wants whilst demanding stuff and not willing to concede anything.
I'm waiting for the King of the Art of the Deal to play his winning cards.
He does have them, doesn't he?

One always has to wonder....
or doesn't that make "wonder" part of their "game?"
"It's good to control the media!" - Somebody, somewhere must have said that!

Yes. But when the media has actual direct sources?
